Amy Winehouse cancels European tour and is given 'as long as it takes' to sort herself out

She was booed offstage at her disastrous concert in Belgrade over the weekend after a disoriented, incoherent performance.

And perhaps wisely, Amy Winehouse has now cancelled all the remaining dates of her European tour.

A statement released by the troubled singer's spokesperson said that the 27-year-old would be given 'as long as it takes' to recover.

Cancelled: Amy Winehouse has called off the remaining dates in her European tour after being booed offstage over the weekend

After the disastrous concert in the Serbian capital - during which the star slurred through unrecognisable versions of her songs - Amy's representative announced that she would not be performing at a gig in Istanbul on Monday and a performance in Athens on Wednesday.

Now all 12 concerts have been scrapped - the pop star was due to play Austria, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain, and Switzerland, ending in Bucharest on August 15.

The statement read: 'Amy Winehouse is withdrawing from all scheduled performances.

'Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen.'

Amy has had a long battle with drugs and drink, which has overshadowed her music career over the past few years.

In
the run-up to her Serbian 'comeback', she spent a week at the Priory clinic in
south west London. Her stay was said to be at the suggestion of her
father, Mitch, over concerns that she was drinking too much before her
live shows.

Serbian media described Winehouse's performance at Belgrade's Fortress before 20,000 fans on Saturday as a 'scandal' and a 'disaster'.

She was reported to have appeared an hour late, stumbled to the stage and mumbled through her songs and occasionally disappeared.

The furious concert organisers said today that they expected they would have to pay the singer in full because she kept to the letter of her contract with them.

'She did it all according to the agreement. She arrived in Belgrade on time and stayed on stage for 70 minutes, so we can't do anything,' a spokesman for the promoters told local media.

But a spokesperson for Winehouse told the Mail Online that she will not seek payment for the performance after all.

The Back to Black star's management had banned alcohol from every room on the floor of the Hyatt hotel she was using in Belgrade in a desperate bid to keep her on the straight and narrow.

Concert organisers are trying to find where the singer obtained whatever it was that had made her seem intoxicated - warning that they might seek compensation if it turned out to be the hotel or someone related to the event that had agreed to keep alcohol away from the star.

A statement released by Winehouse's management after the concert read: 'Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home.

'She would like to apologize to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do.'
